<div dir="auto">Inspired by the 19th century novels of Emily Brontë, the creative director designs a strong, intelligent, indomitable woman for Max Mara.</div>

<p data-start="0" data-end="1043" style="text-align: justify;">&quot;We are living in a particular moment, there is a <strong data-start="40" data-end="60">threatening world</strong> that we are dealing with and I believe that <strong data-start="108" data-end="117">clothes</strong> help you to face it better. More generally, an <strong data-start="172" data-end="189">elegant look</strong> makes you feel good. This morning, for example, I wore my <strong data-start="257" data-end="281">three-piece suit</strong> and I was happy to start the day&quot;. Word of <a href="https://lofficielitalia.com/fashion-week/max-mara-sfilata-resort-2024-stoccolma-collezione-foto-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong data-start="334" data-end="351">Ian Griffiths</strong></a> , <strong data-start="353" data-end="375">creative director</strong> of <a href="https://lofficielitalia.com/news/max-mara-alla-reggia-di-caserta-sfilata-collezione-resort-2026-quando" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong data-start="379" data-end="391">Max Mara</strong></a> who for the <strong data-start="414" data-end="441">autumn winter 2025-26</strong> collection has very clear ideas on the type of <strong>woman</strong> to dress: &quot;Refined, strong, cultured, intelligent, capable of living even her most emotional side, a woman who reads&quot;.</p>

<p data-start="0" data-end="1043" style="text-align: justify;">And specifically, he is passionate about two great classics of <strong data-start="678" data-end="701">English literature</strong> , <em data-start="703" data-end="714">Jane Eyre</em> and <em data-start="717" data-end="734">Wuthering Heights</em> by <strong data-start="738" data-end="758">Charlotte Brontë</strong> , where the protagonists are <strong data-start="783" data-end="802">indomitable heroines</strong> . But to outline the look of the season, Griffiths also looks at the portraits of <strong data-start="886" data-end="912">Julia Margaret Cameron</strong> , great-aunt of <strong data-start="924" data-end="942">Virginia Woolf</strong> , a rare <strong data-start="949" data-end="968">female photographer</strong> of the Victorian era, specialized in <strong data-start="1009" data-end="1040">dreamy female portraits</strong> .</p>

The <strong>very elongated silhouettes</strong> recall nineteenth-century dresses, the coats that are the symbol of the brand play with important layering and at times give way to knitted versions, another reference to the aesthetics of that time. The skirts, very rich in material and volume, have waists enhanced by double belts. And the accessories take center stage with backpacks halfway between moorland and city and essential shoulder bags in different sizes.</p></div></div></div></div></div>
